So far so good

Was having a problem getting a proper oil reading on the dipstick of the donor engine which seemed a little odd!!

have drained 3 1/2 litres of oil out of it which makes reading the mark a little easier!! I suspect it is still 1/2-1 litre above the mark but may just get a new filter & oil tomorrow just so I know it is done!!

I do wonder how someone could manage to put best part of 4 litres too much oil in a car!!!
